ammadfa1466yI experimented with Xamarin app development. Easy to create simple todo apps but i when you wanna do multiselects it had nothing builtin. Things went from a couple of hours work to days. Decided to abandon the project and move in to other stuff and wait for Xamarin Forms to gain more popularity in app community.

I think this describes 90% of modern frameworks & tech.
"Look how easy building a to-do app is using this technology"
"OK but I don't need a to-do app. We're building a platform where people can sell bottled semen in exchange for short poems, and we want to use machine learning to pair the most exciting poems with good semen samples. We need a good postgres ORM, a library for graphQL and tensorflow bindings"
"Uh no, this framework can only be used for to-do apps. There are some libraries for SQLite, but they're a bit alpha. BUT LOOK IT DOES TWO WAY BINDING I CAN BOTH INCREMENT AND DECREMENT A COUNTER BY CLICKING A BUTTON!" -
@bittersweet You forgot to add: it can also hot reload, no need to rebuild again! Now you tell me, isn't that the coolest shit ever?
